I didn't guess the murderer because a few things weren't clear to me. It would have helped if I was familiar with the role of Viola in
Twelfth Night. Still, I don't think this was Carr's best effort. Interesting how even in 1934 "clue" was spelled "clew." Rated C- [2 stars].
Next is a library book,
The Last Policeman by Ben H Winters. The description caught my interest.
